Jacob Misiorowski stands as a heavy favorite to secure the National League Cy Young Award after finishing as one of the top three vote-getters in the regular season balloting. The Milwaukee Brewers ace is just one of four team members named as finalists for Major League Baseball’s most prestigious individual honors, Spectrum News reported Monday night.
The announcement of the finalists for all major Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) awards, delivered via MLB Network, highlights a season of unprecedented individual success for the World Series champions. While Misiorowski leads the charge on the mound, the Brewers’ roster depth is reflected in the diverse range of categories where Milwaukee representatives have earned finalist status.
Individual excellence across the Brewers roster
The recognition extends beyond the starting rotation to include defensive specialists and leadership. Brice Turang, the team’s Gold Glove-winning second baseman, has been named a finalist for the National League Most Valuable Player (MVP) award. Meanwhile, closer Trevor Megill is in contention for the newly established NL Relief Pitcher of the Year category, a distinction introduced this season for both leagues to better recognize specialized bullpen contributions.

On the sidelines, skipper Pat Murphy is positioned to make history. If his selection holds through the final voting, Murphy could become the first manager to win three consecutive Manager of the Year awards, cementing a period of sustained tactical dominance for the franchise.
| Player/Manager | Award Category | Role/Achievement |
|---|---|---|
| Jacob Misiorowski | NL Cy Young Award | Starting Pitcher |
| Brice Turang | NL MVP | Gold Glove Second Baseman |
| Trevor Megill | NL Relief Pitcher of the Year | Closer |
| Pat Murphy | Manager of the Year | Milwaukee Brewers Skipper |
The inclusion of Megill in the Relief Pitcher of the Year race underscores the structural shift in how the league evaluates bullpen efficiency. By separating relief pitching from the primary Cy Young voting, the BBWAA provides a dedicated platform for high-leverage specialists who often operate in the shadow of starting rotation stars.
The winners of these awards are scheduled to be revealed next week. For the Milwaukee community and the broader Brewers organization, the upcoming announcements represent the formal validation of a championship season driven by both veteran leadership and emerging talent.
